Notes

Photograph of 1106 N. Cedar taken from the road. Photo was taken for the Historic Resources Survey of Palestine, Texas 1989-1991. Although Craftsman bungalows are the most common subtype of domestic building in Palestine’s historic neighborhoods, this 1-story frame dwelling is a rare example of one with a hipped roof. Another unusual feature is the use of concrete on the porch pedestals and foundation skirt wall. Few non-historic changes detract from the property’s integrity. According to city directories, Robert D. and Jessie Crawford owned and lived in this house as early as 1926, and they remained through the mid-1940’s. Mr. Crawford worked as a general storekeeper, first for the I&GN Railroad and later for Missouri Pacific. By the early 1940’s, Scott F. Holloway and his wife Glenn lived here: Mr. Holloway worked at the local Western Auto Store.
